(Interpretation: The following question was posed to the listeners for each candidate with 1 being Not Enthusiastic and 5 being Extremely Enthusiastic. “On a scale of 1 to 5 with 5 being the highest, how enthusiastic would you be if <candidate name> were the nominee?” This chart shows how enthusiastic the participants would be in the event that each candidate were the nominee.)
